How to enable my android app to auto check for updates in the android market?

Question

I have my android app already installed on devices and now I want that if I have released a new version of that app in the play store market then the app automatically detects that there is a new version available and notify the user that they can update the app. How can I do that?

Answer 1

您可以创建一个带有 json 响应的 api 来检查版本，当更新可用时只需重定向到 google play 商店

Answer 2

You do not have to set this property in the application. You set this property in the Google Play in your application section like this:

Answer 3

这不是官方的 Api 但它正在工作，当应用程序在 Playstore 上有新版本时，谷歌会自动发出通知，但是如果你想强制用户更新应用程序，那么你可以实现这个

Answer 4

The only case where you should be doing this is when your app uses a not packaged service (hosted on a server, in another app, etc).

This service should return an adequate response if the client (your app) is outdated. If you recieve such a response, then you can redirect to the play store.

If you don't use such a service and still want to do this, then check the android market api .

But really, you shouldn't. The Play store already notifes the user if there is an update. No need to do that again, you will only annoy users.

Answer 5

when you upload your application's update version on google play store . Google play store automatically send notification to users for update version of your application.So no need to send user a custom notification for update version. So only set this functionality on your play store account
